I had the pleasure of meeting this amazing individual and his passion and work are to be admired. Rob was able to bring to the world's attention some major issues existing in our Oceans. He died doing what he loved and did best, but this planet just lost a champion eco hero. This film is so important to see and for future generations to view as well. R.I.P. Rob.

One Of the best docs. I've ever seen. This one probably ranks third (in my opinion) after "The Cove" (# 2 in my list) and "Eco-Pirate: The Story Of Captain Paul Watson". But this doc. shows you that sharks are not to be feared, they are to be RESPECTED!!! And soon I'll be Joining the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society to stop, and shut down all ILLEGAL poaching operations in the worlds oceans. So Go vegan (for conservation reasons).

Excellent documentary! A real eye opener of what his happening to sharks and how hunting them down for their fins should be outlawed.

I saw this on tv twice. It was presented very calmly, allowing the viewer to make up their own mind concerning the way that sharks are harvested for their fins (with the balance of their body being thrown back into the sea). After watching this I told my wife that I will never again take shark fin soup and i have tries to convince as many people as possible to refuse to drink it. We have to reduce the demand for this product.

I saw this documentary when it first came out. It was extremely upsetting but a real eye opener to the injustices sharks are facing as a result of illegal shark finning activities. As a member of my university's Conservation Society we had a movie night where we screened Sharkwater and all proceeds from the night went to Rob Stewart's Sharkwater fund. Everyone should watch this movie so that they are made aware of the massacre that is taking place in our oceans and hopefully be inspired to help do something about it.

Everyone should see this film. It removes the stigma from sharks as man-eating monsters and reveals their true nature. Sharks are not monsters of the deep. Sharks do not want to eat you for dinner. Sharks are responsible for maintaining a delicate balance in our marine ecosystem that is responsible for providing earth with most of its oxygen.

Watch the movie. Educate yourself. And never, ever order shark fin soup or support any establishment that serves it.
